JF Napa - An Enjoyable read

It's a very good short story and a nice intro along with The Academy to the Tracy Crosswhite series. The novels are superior in all ways to the short stories. Robert Dugoni is an excellent writer but, his short stories don't do his talent the justice found in his novels. Still, a very enjoyable read.

Bonnie W Paston - I Love Lucy

I loved the book. The backstory of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz is fascinating. I think a reader though would have to be of a certain age for this memoir. Remembering the early days of television is a plus

Schadenfreude - Not for those who need intensive math review

The only reason this book is not getting two stars is that the online component was helpful in preparing for the GRE. I needed this book for the math; however, it's not a strong math review. The practice sets in the book were much easier than what I encountered on test day. There was not nearly enough geometry review - woefully inadequate. I suppose the same could be said for algebra, but I had just done an Algebra CLEP review and didn't need this book for algebra. So if you need a cursory verbal review and an in-depth math review, this is not the prep book for you.
